MAKE AN
IMPACT
A picture is worth a thousand words,
or so the saying goes, and if you’re
looking to be inspired by bespoke
murals, prints or canvases then check out Surface View.
Great as a backdrop and talking point for your formal
dining area, there’s an array of images to choose from
in the Trunk archive, including florals of different
scales and varieties, dating back to the 1560s. Wall
murals start from £60m2. surfaceview.co.uk.
SPARKLING NEW
Fresh to the Blanco kitchen collection, is the Adon XL 6
sink. Measuring 980 x 40mm, it offers practical and
durable qualities fit for a busy kitchen. It’s made from
tough, hardwearing SILGRANIT® PuraDur® II, it’s raised
on an all-round rim and has a deep bowl. It’s in a
choice of colour options including Anthracite, Coffee
and Rock Grey. From around £800. blanco.co.uk.
Depth matters
Choose from a bigger collection of
undermounted sinks from Rangemaster,
including the Atlantic Kube KUB5018 sink
(shown). It has a 1.5 bowl which is ideal
for crockery or pans that do not easily fit
in the dishwasher. It’s finished with a
square waste and 10mm radius corners.
From £489. rangemaster.co.uk.
FRESH
IDEAS
We all find ideas from many different
places but sometimes it’s not until
you visit a showroom that you know
exactly what you want. At the
Chamber Furniture Kent showroom
in Halstead, you’ll find a brand new
kitchen display – it’s set to inspire
anyone looking for a mix of
contemporary and vintage kitchen
styles. Here, flush stained oak is
combined with Okite Bianco Classico

can choose your own finishes for a
bespoke design. Kitchens start from

COOL &
I t’s hard to believe that this elegant four-storey house in West London
was once a rather gloomy convent. ‘There were nine dormitories and
a series of tiny rooms with endless partitions,’ recalls Isobel Nicholson,
a TV producer who shares the house with husband, Zac, a film
cameraman. ‘Our goal was to open up the whole house to create a family
home with a much more spacious and light feel.’ An essential part of the
refurbishment of the Victorian house was the conversion of the nuns’
former sitting rooms on the ground floor into a large living-kitchen-dining space,
designed for family life with children Bea (seven), Tilly (four) and Amelia (10
months). After ripping out those awkward partitions, Isobel and Zac concentrated
on creating an open-plan space, adding floor-to-ceiling sliding folding glass doors
which fill the room with natural light, and provide direct access to the garden.
It was word of mouth that led the couple to Tim Higham of Higham Furniture
for their kitchen. ‘We had been all over the place looking for the right company,
so we rather fell on Tim when we met him,’ laughs Isobel. ‘He approaches each
design individually and offers a very personal service which appealed to us.’
As a keen cook (and a devotee of hip chef Yotam Ottolenghi’s cookbooks),
Isobel’s brief to Tim was to ensure that the cabinetry was robust and the layout
designed for some serious recipe preparation, with plenty of work surface,
and appliances and storage in easy reach to make life easier for Isobel.
‘I also felt that the room should be designed to suit a London house,’ she

reputation for his ability to combine
classic with contemporary. But what he
doesn’t do is pattern. ‘I prefer to use
textures to convey a sense of timeless
luxury,’ he says. ‘That doesn’t mean you can’t add
pattern later on with cushions, throws and prints,
but if you want a design that will still look great in
ten years’ time, use textures as your foundation –
they are much more likely to create a timeless appeal.’
In the master bedroom of this luxurious early
Victorian home on Clapham Common in South
London, Sean and his team used a palette of soft
greys and warm creams in velvets, silks, faux suede,
linen and wool. To add definition, lacquered dark
timber and accents of polished nickel complete the
look. ‘It is consistent and creates a sense of flow,
both within the bedroom and the entire suite,
including the dressing areas,’ he explains.
Large enough to accommodate two sofas, a
footstool and an armchair, the bedroom required
a design that would suit its grand size. ‘It all started
with the headboard, which reaches to the ceiling
and gives the bed a real sense of presence,’ continues
Sean. ‘I like to make entrance doors as tall as
possible in my designs and here their grand affect
is amplified by the floor-to-ceiling headboard.’
The result is a coolly elegant, restful sanctuary
with its own balcony overlooking the 130ft rear
garden. ‘It’s your own private retreat, perfect
however busy your life,’ he says. eKBB
